THE Brazilian Team and Titus are well served by attackers. NeymarRaphinha, Richarlison, Antony, Pedro, Rodrygo, and Vinícius Jr and so many others compete for a spot in the world. The competition between them is great, especially on the right wing. The main dispute, at least for the title, is on account of two players who live great moments in their careers.

Raphinha and Antony are highlights of the Brazilian National Team and underwent a major transformation in the last transfer window. The first left Leeds for Barcelona and the other left Ajax to reinforce Manchester United. Both are highlights of the teams that passed and currently defend, in addition, Tite is a fan of the duo’s football, but only one should act as a starter for the World Cup.

In fact, last Thursday, 22nd, in a press conference, Raphinha elected his rival to compete for the title of the Brazilian team. The striker, for now, is the favorite to start the world cup among the starting 11, but nothing prevents that from changing. Asked about the topic, the Barcelona forward revealed that he sees Antony as his biggest competitor for the position.

I feel that I’m preparing a lot to arrive physically and mentally at the World Cup, whether as a starter or a reserve, because if Antony plays he will also respond. He has an unusual quality. If the Selection didn’t have competition, it wouldn’t be a selection“, said the striker about the dispute for position in the Brazilian team.

At one time or another the younger ones would have to reach the main team. It’s just to see everyone’s desire to be here, to participate in a Cup and to win a World Cup. And after everyone is here, having this balance between the youngest and the oldest, is what makes us come strong to win the Cup“, he continued. Raphinha also took advantage and praised Tite’s new way of playing.

The tendency is for him to enter with Lucas Paquetá, Neymar, Raphinha, Richarlison and Vinícius Jr in the attack, and the ace liked the scheme: “As a striker, the more offensive the scheme, the better, it is closer to the goal. We have our offensive characteristic, but we know about defensive responsibility, what we have to do. We work hard for this. With the ball in attack, everyone has their own creativity”.
